Özet
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of informing patient relatives by short message on the level of anxiety and satisfaction during orthopedic surgery. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: The study was conducted with 112 relatives of patients who underwent orthopedic surgery in a state hospital between November 2017 and December 2017. The relatives of the patients were assigned randomly to the experimental and control groups. An Introductory Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Satisfaction Questionnaire were used as the data collection tools. Data were obtained by interviewing the patients’ relatives face-to-face and the relatives' self-report. Findings: The state anxiety post-test scores in the experimental group were significantly lower than the scores in the control group (P < 0.001). The mean satisfaction score in the experimental group was 9.50 ± 1.43. Conclusions: The anxiety level of the relatives who were informed by short messages during orthopedic surgery significantly decreased, and the individuals were satisfied with this service.
